Chapter 57: The Palace
Zhang Shaotian came back to his senses and hurriedly responded, after seeing the Yellow River Patriarch being killed by Gao Cheng, he lowered his posture, just like the other party's subordinates, without a trace of resistance to the order.
Gao Cheng put away the Xuantie heavy sword and left, and when the people in the rivers and lakes outside the courtyard saw him come out, their faces changed, and they hurriedly retreated to both sides to make way for space, as if they were separated by waves.
Gao Cheng's footsteps seemed to be slow and urgent, and soon disappeared from the sight of these people, and when Gao Cheng's figure disappeared completely, there was a buzz, and these people in the rivers and lakes suddenly became noisy.
Among them, a few powerful Jianghu tycoons said hello to Zhang Shaotian, with a very gentle attitude, and then entered the courtyard to check the traces left by the fight between the two in the courtyard just now.
Zhang Shaotian and Yang Tiexin didn't stay in the courtyard for long, and soon left, and a few of the subordinates of the big men of the rivers and lakes blocked the others outside, while a few of them carefully observed inside.
After a few moments, several people looked at each other, and one of them, a short and fat man, asked in a low voice, "How is it?
A person beside him said: "I only feel that the sword qi and sword qi remaining in this courtyard are too sharp, no matter which one of them is, the Yellow River Patriarch and Gao Cheng are the top masters in the rivers and lakes, and we are afraid that we will not be able to stop them a few moves if we join forces!"
Another Jianghu tycoon frowned, and said: "It's not strange that the Yellow River Patriarch has cultivated for so many years, and his strength has greatly increased and refined into sword qi, but Gao Cheng is so young, he can actually kill the Yellow River Patriarch, this is ...... Doesn't it mean that he already has the strength to rival the five peers in the world?"
As soon as these words came out, several people became silent, the five absolute beings in the world represented the highest level of force in this world, they really couldn't believe that Gao Cheng was already a supreme master! But the two corpses in front of them clearly proved Gao Cheng's strength.
"Forget it, Gao Cheng's killing of the Yellow River Patriarch is also good for us, only Sha Tongtian is left, but we can't stop us from joining forces, and the territory of the Yellow River Gang will belong to us in the future!"
Several Jianghu tycoons discussed a few words, and then quickly left Taiyuan with their subordinates, they wanted to quickly gather their subordinates and disciples, and join forces to attack the territory of the Yellow River Gang before Sha Tongtian reacted.
As these people left from the Yuelai Inn, the news of Gao Cheng's killing of the Yellow River Patriarch spread quickly, and suddenly the rivers and lakes were shaken, and many of the Jianghu experts who had just arrived in Taiyuan did not expect that before the time of the competition, Gao Cheng and the Yellow River Patriarch had already divided the winner.
After the news spread all over the rivers and lakes, Gao Cheng's reputation became even louder, and he used bows and arrows, palm techniques, and swordsmanship these days. Let him cry and laugh.
Daikin, Zhongdu!
The palace of King Zhao is located in the core of the capital, the palace rises and falls, each hall is carved with dragon patterns, and there are many trees and flowers dotted among them, the mansion is majestic but not lacking in exquisiteness.
A few months ago, the Zhao Wangfu was invaded by a few beggars and robbed of the princess, which was simply a shame for all the guards of the Zhao Palace. After Emperor Dajin learned the news, after the whole city of Dasuo failed to arrest the thief, he gave King Zhao 500 guards to guard the mansion.
Now the Zhao Wangfu is controlled layer by layer, the defense is tight, and there are many bows and crossbows ambushed in the shadows, if there are still people who dare to trespass, ten thousand arrows will be fired together, and it will definitely make people unable to eat and walk around.
In one of the palaces, King Zhao Wanyan Honglie sat on the top, there were several imposing men sitting on the left and right, and a person in the middle of the hall was kneeling on the ground to report the news from the rivers and lakes, especially Gao Cheng killed the Yellow River Patriarch in Taiyuan City, and said it in great detail.
A bald man sitting on the left, his eyes bloodshot, slapped the chair fiercely, and with a click, the chair suddenly turned into pieces.
"Gao Cheng! I swear by Sha Tongtian that I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
He is Sha Tongtian, the leader of the Yellow River Gang, Zhang Shaotian asked around for news of him but couldn't find anyone, but he didn't expect him to be in the Zhongdu Zhao Wangfu. Sitting next to Sha Tongtian was an old man with a white beard who was also bald.
At this time, the white-bearded old man comforted: "Brother Sha temporarily rests his anger, don't frighten the prince, Gao Cheng sent people and a few disciples of the beggar gang to kidnap the princess, she is the enemy of all of us, and we will definitely not sit idly by!"
Sha Tongtian barely controlled his emotions when he heard this, and said to Wanyan Honglie above: "The villain is reckless, he frightened the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him!"
Wanyan Honglie sighed and said, "Master Sha's mood Xiao Wang can understand, and I also ask Master Sha to mourn!"
He shifted his gaze to the others and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Yellow River Patriarch has been killed, Gao Cheng's reputation is in full swing, I wonder if everyone has a way to deal with this person?"
Since the last time the master of the beggar gang and Yang Tiexin broke into the palace and took Bao Xiweak away, Wanyan Honglie realized the ability of the master of the rivers and lakes, so he began to recruit masters everywhere. However, in a short period of time, there are not many masters of the rivers and lakes recruited, and the strongest is Liang Ziweng, an old monster from Liaodong.
If Liang Ziweng had hair, then his white beard would be like a master in the world, but unfortunately he was caught by Hong Qigong for doing evil a few years ago, and all his hair was plucked out and turned into a bald man.
He is proficient in medical skills, usually able to sink his heart and rarely suffer losses, he suffered a loss under Hong Qigong's hands and was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly left Liaodongnan, and happened to see King Zhao recruiting talents, so he entered King Zhao's mansion, and it didn't take long to get the trust of Wanyan Honglie.
Other recruited Jianghu experts heard the prince's question, and they enthusiastically offered their plans, some said that they would directly kill Gao Cheng in Taiyuan, and some said that they would send troops to besiege them, and they all had a lot of opinions.
Wanyan Honglie shook his head secretly, it seems that these people can only be used to watch the family or as cannon fodder, without a little brain, even he, the king of Zhao of the Dajin Kingdom, knows that it is extremely difficult to mess with a lone ranger like Gao Cheng when his strength reaches it.
For example, a first-class master like the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, Wanyan Honglie is not worried, because the Quanzhen Sect can't run away from Zhongnan Mountain, Qiu Chuji only dares to chase and kill corrupt officials and traitors in the Great Song Dynasty, and he dares to kill an official in the Dajin Country! It really angered the Jin State, and directly sent a large army to besiege Zhongnan Mountain, and the entire Quanzhen Sect didn't even want to run.
And Gao Cheng, a lone ranger is not easy to deal with, if the other party is forced to assassinate officials everywhere, it won't be long before the Jin Kingdom will be erosive, to deal with this kind of person, you can only kill with one blow and not give the other party a chance to retaliate.
These rivers and lakes only know how to rush and kill, and they don't think about anything else at all, Wanyan Honglie couldn't help but signal Liang Ziweng with his eyes and asked him to come up with an idea.
Liang Ziweng pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Brother Sha, I remember you said that Gao Cheng's age is not more than twenty years old?"
Sha Tongtian nodded, a little puzzled, he didn't know why Liang Ziweng asked this question, "Yes, although this kid is our enemy, I have to say that his strength is really strong, and his cultivation is to improve his speed!"
